Ok I admit it. I am a shampoo snob. I usually use higher end shampoos. I bought Herbal Essence Hello Hydration because I had a coupon and the product was on sale and I was curious. I am a convert now. It leaves my hair soft and so shiny. I had no idea my hair was capable of this shine. I am not kidding. I saw a difference immediately and love it. The only complaint I have with this shampoo is that the smell does not last long. I am ok with that but it would have been a nice bonus to get the shine and the smell all in one bottle. -

Its February - its cold outside and i think I have the Winter Blues. Can you think of a better way to beat the blues than to give my hair the pop it needs by adding some blue accents. The packaging on GOT2BE headturner is fantastic. Its bright and trendy and I love the use of the word "pastelize" your blonde. I was a bit worried that my dark blonde hair wouldn't be light enough for the denim blue color to show through but based on the model on the package - she had very dark roots and the rest of her hair was this great blue color. I tried following the directions exactly and it was very easy and all went smooth except for the color. It wasn't exactly what I had thought but it did change up my look a little and it came out in my next shampoo. Overall this product is great for those with a lighter blonde than I have and it really didn't take much skill or expertise to change up my look. I was able to do it in under 45 minutes in the comfort of my bathroom. -

The Root Re Toucher comes in an attractive and eye catching bottle with gold lettering and small pics of the different hair colors that help you decide if this is the right color for you. My hair color was the exact same color as one of the pics and felt confident that my root problems were over.
I am early 40's and have only a slight problem with grey hair. However - my hair tends to grow very very fast and I seem to always have roots showing. The bottle is has zero instructions on it but the spray nozzle is pretty straightforward so I figured point and shoot was the only way to go. My first spray landed on my forehead. It was a big brown target at the top of my forehead. I guess I aimed too high. It washed off easily and I started again. My second attempt worked great. The spray went on evenly and did not leave a wet goopy mess as I had thought and I was able to comb it and style it seconds later. It dried really fast and covered up my greys instantly. It washed off in my next shampoo and did not leave me with any oily residue. What it didn't do was cover up my roots. Despite the label telling me that I had chosen the right color for my roots - the re toucher was the exact same color as my roots. It did everything for my greys but nothing for my roots, This product has potential but it was the wrong color for me. The quality was great but it did not meet my needs.

I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years and have tried alot of meat free meals but when it comes to sandwiches I love using Yves veggie Cuisine Deli slices. The bologna slices are so delicious. They are a nice size and the texture is very similar to the real bologna slices. The only negative I can think of is that it doesn't come in a re seal-able bag. I try to limit my wastes and always have to use a ziploc bag to reseal them and put them back in the fridge. It would be so convenient to have a re- seal-able bag. -

I am a body wash addict. I work in a dusty dirty environment so there is nothing more I like than coming home from work and jumping into a hot shower and soaping myself up. I have used Olay products before and was always satisfied with the quality. The moisture body wash with Shea butter lathered up nicely and is so creamy on my skin. I was very impressed at the creaminess - its one of the things I like best about body washes. It left a faint smell - not to strong and not overpowering at all. My skin was smooth and felt moisturized. I would buy this product again for sure. -

These cookies are dangerous. I can eat the whole tin without realizing it. They are delicious. I love serving them with ice cream or on a pretty silver tray with hot chocolate and whipped cream. The taste is not overpowering and they are light and crispy. The only downside is don't eat them in bed you will have crumbs everywhere! -

I don't usually wear Tampons but when I have a spa day and it just happens to fall on that time of the month I have no choice but to wear tampons.
Tampax Radiant Pearl are easy to use, very comfortable and easy to conceal. Its the only tampon I will use and would recommend them to anyone at any age.

I am always looking for great moisturizer and try new ones every other month. I've used Biotherm products before and enjoyed them but this one caught my eye because it said on the package sensitive emulsion. I used it morning and night after washing my face and loved that it did not leave my face feeling sticky and oily. My skin absorbed it quickly and I was able to put on makeup minutes after applying it. It did not irritate my skin and had a vert light smell that I enjoyed. I will continue using this product and would recommend to friends and family -

I got this free from chickadvisor in exchange for my opinion. Let me start by saying that Protein Shakes are totally not my thing. But I am getting older and looking for ways to boost my energy and stamina without the calories or sugar. I drank the Vanilla Protein shake out of the fridge and although its creamy and not sandy I still could not finish it. It was nice and cold but had an aftertaste that caught me off guard and made me contort my face. I did not feel any different and did not feel energized after drinking one container. I really wanted to like it but I just couldn't get past the taste. -

I received this as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I rarely use Protein shakes but as I am getting older I can feel my energy crashing especially on those busy days when I don't have time for breakfast. My body needs fuel and its starting to let me know by lowering my productivity. I live a super busy life with work and family and need to be sharp and alert at all times. I was excited to receive the Premier Protein Shakes in chocolate and Vanilla and even more excited when I saw it has only 160 calories.
I tried the chocolate one first and after my first sip I knew this product wasn't for me. It has a chalky consistency, tasted nothing like chocolate and left an artificial sugar aftertaste in my mouth. I then tried mixing it in a blender with almonds and shredded coconut and it tasted alright but still not my thing. It did give me energy but I couldn't shake the taste in my mouth. It lingered until I ate something just to get rid of the taste. Its not a terrible product but as someone not used to Protein shakes and low calorie drinks I do not think I will buy this again.
